Usage notes
- For a group of people, commissione is common in institutions; comitato is broader and often less official.
- For a fee, use commissione mainly in business or banking. In everyday speech, costo or tariffa is often more natural.
- For a task or errand, fare una commissione usually means a small practical errand, not an important assignment.
